Settlement between Nagasaki University and a foreign assistant professor in a lawsuit for termination of employment.

 

A settlement was reached at the Fukuoka High Court on March 15 in a lawsuit filed by a Belgian man who was an assistant professor at Nagasaki University, claiming that he was unfairly terminated from his position just before he obtained the right to convert his fixed-term labor contract to permanent employment after a total of five years. The university expressed regret over the way it handled the case and will pay 28.5 million yen as a settlement. The man will start working at the university in October 2023 as an assistant professor on an indefinite term. According to the plaintiff's attorney, it is rare for a plaintiff to return to work with indefinite employment.
